AEW also moved Mina Shirakawa vs. Athena to Double or Nothing and added a Buy-In trios of Death Riders vs. The Opps, while Tony Khan said the TBS Title picture will be addressed after the pay-per-view with a wild card replacing the vacated Owen Hart tournament spot.
Saturday’s AAA broadcast on May 16 from Auditorio Jose Maria Arteaga featured Julius Creed and Brutus Creed defeating Aerostar and El Fiscal in the main event. Earlier, Mr. Iguana and La Parka won a four-way tag over NGD, Money Machine and the Tokyo Bad Boys. Galeno del Mal also beat Drago and Chris Carter in a two-on-one handicap match.
Tomorrow’s Saturday Night’s Main Event is the weekend’s pivot, with Penta’s Intercontinental defense against Ethan Page and The Vision vs. The Street Profits carrying the top stakes. On the AEW side, the run-up to Double or Nothing tightened with Jon Moxley and Kyle O’Reilly pointing to a no time limit AEW Continental Championship rematch, a Buy-In trios added, and Tony Khan indicating the TBS Title plan will be set after the show with a wild card entering the Owen Hart tournament. In NXT, DarkState ejecting Saquon Shugars and the rise of Kam Hendrix and Mason Rook are the threads to watch into next week.
Does Penta vs. Ethan Page at Saturday Night's Main Event deserve the top spot, or should The Vision vs. Street Profits have closed the show?
